Going through this booklet, I notice a lot of call for "powdered sugar". Am I to translate that into "Confectioner's sugar"? I'm not sure at this point. I've not found many calls for powdered sugar in the recipes in my collection.

I've always thought they were the same. Just to make sure, I looked it up on the 'net:

These days most recipes call for simple syrup instead. The advantage of powdered sugar over regular sugar is that it is easier to dissolve in cool liquids.

Thanks friends. I was sure powdered sugar and confectioner's were one in the same; it was just that I'd not seen it called for in drink recipes in the past. As I always have my simple syrup on hand, I'm pretty sure I'll use that.

Last night I made "Moano's Own" (Page 24) substituting Kohala Bay for the Meyer's, El Dorado 12 year old as the Demerara, Lemon Hart 151 (No Bacardi 151 on hand) and Pernod for the Herbasaint.

THAT is one tasty drink! Very flavorful and balanced.

Couldn't have just one . . . made myself two of 'em!

"Top Secret Project"......wonder if it might be similar to what I was thinking you probably should do....that is, if you own the copyright to the book. "Top Secret Project" of "Amazon" like porportions..... you should really start to "kindle" the fire of that "project"....might be a nice moneymaker. Am I guessing close???
